Viskningar och rop (Cries and Whispers) (1972)

Director:   Ingmar Bergman
Writer:      Ingmar Bergman
Language: Swedish
Agnes (Harriet Anderson) is suffering from cancer and lives in a mansion with her maid Anna (Kari Sylwan). They are joined by her two sisters Karin (Ingrid Thulin) and Maria (Liv Ullmann). Film is set in 19th century and long repressed feelings between the siblings come to the fore over the course of the film and short back stories are given to each characters over the course of the film. Acting of Harriet Anderson is excellent and just by the pain and suffering we are also share it even without knowing the character that much.

Rating: 4.5/5
